Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

COMM isn't a unilateral natter deletion thread, is it? We've bantered in there before.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, I was just going to ask about that. We've always Nattered just a little in COMM, without it being deleted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it is. Here are the blurbs for Beep Me and COMM:

If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me

Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.

This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here. This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.

COMM doesn't say it's a natter-free zone, so I don't think it is. Or should be.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I thought the deletions were for repeated COMMs (a situation I forsee happening quite often in the future now that the MM&Phill Show has returned).

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, but even then we've let those slide.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Things should not be deleted in COMM. It shouldn't be nattery, but it's not, to the best of my knowledge, a Natter-free-stomp-stomp zone.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yep. See here.

What's deletey, what's not.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This quote came up at the top of the page:

"I'll nurse you back to health. I'll wear the nurse outfit!"
BuffyBot,

(1) It doesn't have episode attribution.

(2) That line wasn't in the episode as it aired. Might have been in the shooting script.

(Or does this belong in BBB?)

Gradh tu fhein

This is an actual question. I'd like to fix my user name to Zoe Finch which the real way of spelling my name. I tried re-registering and put in e-mail address zoefinch@blueyonder.co.uk. I never got an activation message. I've sent e-mails and apologise if I'm just bugging yous. The replies came back empty. I tried re-registering as Zoe Finch but the system has a record of last time but I've no clue what my password is cos the one I used wasn't accepted. So anyway I'm stuck now but I'd really like to drop that "i". Can you help?

Ta.
